AJT Engineering Limited is actively involved in maintaining and repairing both land-based and offshore wind assets.
The wind energy sector is a critical part of the renewable energy transition, and the reliability and efficiency of wind turbines are key factors in ensuring sustainable power generation. Actively engaged with ETZ to deliver our Fit for Offshore Renewable (F4OR) program.
Here are some general considerations we make for maintaining and repairing both land-based and offshore wind assets:
Regular Inspections
Conduct regular inspections to identify potential issues early on. This includes inspecting towers, foundations, work platforms, flange integrity and other components for wear, damage, or corrosion.
Predictive Maintenance
Utilize predictive maintenance techniques, such as monitoring systems and sensors, to anticipate and address potential failures before they occur. This can help optimize maintenance schedules and reduce downtime.
Gearbox and Generator Maintenance
Gearboxes and generators are critical for power generation. Regularly inspect and maintain these components to prevent failures and ensure efficient energy production.
Environmental Considerations
Offshore wind assets may face more challenging environmental conditions. Consider the impact of saltwater exposure and other marine elements on the equipment and implement corrosion protection measures.
Safety Protocols
Prioritize safety for our maintenance and repair activities, especially for offshore assets where working conditions may be more challenging. Ensure that your team follows industry-standard safety protocols.
Compliance with Regulations
Stay informed about and comply with relevant regulations and standards for wind energy. This includes environmental regulations, safety standards, and any other requirements imposed by regulatory authorities.
Logistics and Access
Consider the logistics of accessing and transporting equipment, especially for offshore assets. Efficient logistics planning can minimize downtime during maintenance activities.
Training and Skill Development
Invest in training and skill development for our team to keep them updated on the latest technologies and best practices in wind energy maintenance.
Collaboration with OEMs
Establish strong collaboration with Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) for equipment support, spare parts, and technical expertise.
